Appreciation with Determination

For a couple of years we have been wanting to finish out the insulation and covering of our walls in the garage. It was time to get some of that "stuff" organized off the floor and purge some of the "stuff" that isn't needed anymore.

Knowing we were going to need some help, we polled our kids for a time when they could come be "weekend warriors" for us and labor for this project. Labor Day weekend took the unanimous vote.

With the help of my sister and her husband, plus one of my dad's work trailers, we traveled to Menard's and picked up the insulation and wall board. The crew of "kids" arrived Saturday afternoon and begin the project around mid-evening, and this is where determination comes in.

It was a warm humid night. We are so blessed

that the boys did this for us!﻿

See...they also brought their golf clubs and were going to work all night if that's what it took to get the project done, because they didn't want to work on LABOR day! (That would defeat the purpose of the holiday!!!) And finish in one night they did...2:30 in the morning...6 hours complete x 2 men. And that leads us to appreciation.

Welcome to my blog. I am a full-time employee of my parents business in which we build street-rods/customs and restore classic cars. I travel 75 miles from my home every other day to work. I love spending time with our children and grandchildren, and making special scrapbooks for them and their family times. Spending time with my sisters, my grandmother and our parents is special to me also. My husband Lyle and I look forward to our weekends where we try to relax as much as possible. We thank God for all the wonderful gifts we have been blessed with and look forward to eternity someday.
